Everything we do affects other people.

Judaism is much more communal, and partly as a consequence of my religious switch, I am increasingly more suspicous of my previous view that what people do in the privacy of their own home is their business alone.

The Seventh Day Adventist Church believes that it was specially chosen by God to prepare the world for the Second Coming of His Son Jesus.

I learned from my Adventist upbringing that the biggest sins were sexual.

I did not want to reject religion as nonsense because life seemed to have no ultimate purpose without it, and most of the good people I knew were Christians.

I teethed on books of heroes such as Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and King David.

At times during high school and college I wished to be a sportswriter.
